My grandfather once had the "pleasure" of driving down a dark highway
at night when the car directly behind him with high beams on. He sped
up to 50 mph, then 60 mph, then 70 mph with the driver behind him
matching his speed each time. Then at 70 the car behind turned on a
flasher and my grandfather pulled over.

The officer asked him why he was speeding when he was the only car in
sight and when he told the officer that he was only trying to get away
from the officer's high beams, the officer went back to his car,
realized he DID have his high beams on, apologized and tore up the
ticket.
